randomly distributed means they'll hit you and the window with the same likelihood as any other part of your car. with your logic, it doesn't matter what car you get. you get shot anyway...

fuck the guy after me. I write good code for my own sanity and so my OCD doesn't make me want to refactor it all later. it's like saying save the trees for your grandchildren or the future generations. fuck them, I want a clean en

Probably my first intro to software was from the Potato Counter game in Neopets. All you do in the game is count the number of potatoes on screen, input the number of potatoes, and, if you were correct, you get awarded some Neopoints. Well,

i agree. i say all these gripes knowing anki isn't some huge corp that can throw money at this problem, but it really is time for a revamp or more competition in the space that is worth moving to.

id beg to differ. i've had plenty of bugs happen myself and you can find tons of posts around the web of people experiencing similar frustrations. I'm sure there are decks that people make that are less error prone when syncing, b

i have no complaints on the memorization system itself. it works and thats why i will continue to use anki despite my gripes with it. i do not agree that syncing is flawless though since i've had many major issues in the past. i imagin

your comment itself points the huge issue out. the way i see it, as evident in your comment, anki has given you several issue over just the 5-6 years youve used it that requires your to manually salvage your system... what other apps do you

i know this motivation all too well in my line of work, but i hate it. its the code conservative approach that will just let things cobweb since people don't hate it enough for anki to change it app dev. granted, anki isn't some c

I'm sure its non trivial, especially if youre building the clone by yourself, but over the time anki has been around, you'd think they wouldve ironed out the kinks. losing data itself isn't the problem. i can get the decks ba

can anyone tell me why anki is implemented so poorly in its core functionality? it works, but its slow, clunky, and error prone. that's the drawback for me and reason i am even willing to check out competition in this tech. things like

never had that happen before. as we speak, the app is running at 1% of a core and 100mb ram. id imagine that whatever apple implements uses some sort of protocol that wouldn't be free in terms of resources either.

Logitech MX product have had this feature for a while now and its even cross platform. its called Logitech Flow and works almost as seamlessly as that mac demo. Only difference would be installing the Logitech Options app vs it being native

its mostly for people doing work in the WSL world. If you're writing code, you can throw up an IDE running directly inside WSL and run toolchains that exist inside WSL altogether. Before, you'd have to do something like use WSL re

i have never heard of haskell being a language used for teaching introductory computer science courses. that sounds like a nightmare. i'd imagine mid-to-upper div classes.
